CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Patric Hornqvist was absent from the Penguins' practice at the Lemieux Complex on Saturday afternoon, but there's no need to be concerned.
Mike Sullivan said after practice that Hornqvist was at the dentist getting a tooth fixed.
In Hornqvist's absence, Zach Aston-Reese filled in in Hornqvist's usual spot in front of the net on the power play. There were no line rushes in practice, so nobody needed to step in for him there.
